James had cured the wrath Of a jealous woman Not long after that Spending all his weekends Trying to relearn How a young man yearns after a noose Poor, poor James
Most nights he has dreams All his teeth are missing Wakes up in a sweat Simpleton heart racing He throws back the sheets Begins to weep without much feeling Poor, poor James
Desire is what makes Upright mammals human Put me out to graze Give this beast a burden Because the universe Makes much more sense without a purpose Poor, poor James
